Review on 🔒 Safeguard Your Valuables On-the-Go with PacSafe Travelsafe Liter Portable Black by Amber Chavez

What do you need to know about this bag? This is part of a strategy to prevent your items from escaping when a savvy thief is looking for an opportunity to steal unprotected items. It's not a perfect security solution, and it shouldn't be. As part of a strategy for keeping your belongings safe? This is a good tool in your artillery. Several people have remarked that this bag can be cut with a pair of strong scissors. And of course it can - it's a mesh-reinforced fabric bag! It is not made of Vibranium.ie, an entirely mythical substance that is both indestructible and highly malleable. If you have an extremely valuable item, this bag is not a suitable secure storage solution and you should ensure that every hotel you stay in has an in-room safe or general hotel safe that can be used to store very expensive or important items. To you. But to keep your iPad, Kindle and other small electronics or small jewelry safe? This is a perfectly adequate solution. So this bag is good for securing your small valuables to an immovable object when there is no in-room safe. It's not a guarantee that your items are 100% secure - it just means that a thief smart enough to look for people leaving their belongings unsecured will see your belongings in that bag and decide that he doesn't want to mess with it. , and will move. to a more vulnerable target. (Similarly, we have a 48" steel cable that I used to tie all our luggage together in the corner of the room. A clever thief isn't going to try to get away with two trolleys connected to two padded ons - that's too obvious. ) We used this pocket safe on a nearly month long trip around the UK last year. For more than half of our stay we lived in large hotels that had safes in the rooms so we could keep our iPad, passports (in a secure case) and all our small electronics and chargers out of sight. But in the three smaller towns where we stayed in either boutique hotels or budget hotels, there were no safes. In this case, we attached the bag containing those items to a fixed, immovable object in the room—the leg of a dead battery in two rooms and a metal nightstand support bolted to the wall. floor in the third room. On all these occasions it worked successfully without anyone even touching the bag - the cleaners didn't even seem to move it and just left it alone. Once we've got this thing closed and secured properly, you'll need to practice at home to learn how to insert this bead into the slot so the top doesn't open - nothing falls out. The iPad was fine, but I'm not sure a laptop would fit in there, otherwise the Kindle and all of our chargers for our phones and other travel electronics would fit in there perfectly. (Our chargers have been assembled into a cord organizer though, so everything folds neatly.) As for the lock - there's nothing particularly magical about this lock. I thought it looked too flimsy, so I replaced it with an older quasi-carbine combination lock I've had for years, with a deadbolt that just went through the hole. It was an uncomfortable fit, meaning it wasn't easy to use, but we thought that was an advantage. It wasn't the kind of lock that was easy to pick and because it was difficult to remove it was an extra layer of security. So what if you don't like this lock? Don't use it. You'll still need to find something with a relatively thin latch, but thin cable locks work just as well. The idea of the lock is that it just holds the bead in place and the top of the bag stays in place. The best thing about this bag is that when not in use it was just a flat layer on the bottom of one of our suitcases. It didn't take up too much thickness and we could easily put our packing cubes on it. Sometimes you regret taking something with you on a trip, but I have no regrets. One of the budget hotels was pretty sketchy and I felt better with our stuff in the bag. All in all yes I was happy to use this bag for a couple of nights when I didn't have an in room safe. But knowing this was an issue, we certainly weren't traveling with something too expensive or irreplaceable. For items we needed to protect, this pocket safe was a great option.
